A day early but.... Happy Half Birthday Baby Girl!

Dear gorgeous precious baby girl,
You have turned my life around. From the moment I first touched the top of your head as you were being born you had me entirely.
From the second you were placed in my arms I knew that I would do anything and everything to protect you, care for you, love you and raise you to be a strong, confident and happy young woman.
You were born into a family filled with love - a mammy and daddy who adore you, a brother who worships you and a host of aunties, uncles, grandparents and cousins who see you only as the gorgeous angel that you are.

I have never known a baby to be so happy - to smile so constantly. I have also never known one so young to talk so much - you have been babbling from just a few weeks old and it's constant (and loud) stream of chatter from morning to night.

One look at you brings on a smile that would light up the world - I hope you never forget that my darling, how your smile can change things for the better.

And when you sleep, your wee hands pressed together as if you are saying your prayers, you make my heart swell with love and pride.

It has been a joy to get to know you these last six months - and I can't wait for happens next - to see your personality grow, your chatter turn into proper little words, your smile grow more beautiful.

Thank you for being my most precious little princess.
Love always,

Mammy
